Capcom’s world-renowned Resident Evil franchise adds another title to its storied lineup with Resident Evil Village. On the 7th of May, the latest chapter in the lore of Resident Evil will arrive for both modern and next-gen consoles and PC. With the release drawing closer, here’s what we know so far about Capcom’s new survival horror offering:

The return of Ethan Winters, and to deeper hells

Resident Evil Village will follow the life of Ethan Winters after the events of Resident Evil 7: Biohazard released in 2017. Set a few years later, Ethan now lives with his wife Mia and raise a child together in peace. However, such peace doesn’t last long as the organization protecting them attacks their home. Led by the BSAA’s captain, Chris Redfield, he kidnaps the Winters’ young one in the aftermath of the attack.

Now, Ethan must traverse through the horrifying village and castle that looms over the village to save his daughter. In his quest, he will encounter even scarier and deadlier horrors from his encounter in the Baker house in Biohazard. Also, he will come across a lady named Alcina Dimitrescu, who presides over the entire castle grounds.

Yes, Lady Dimitrescu is the tall vampire lady the Internet is simping over.

First-person horror experience

Developed through the RE Engine, Resident Evil Village maintains the first-person aspect in terms of gameplay. As Ethan, you will explore either the cold, desolate village, to the bright castle interiors with its own horrifying secrets.

Also, the developers took several gameplay aspects from previous Resident Evil games that will enhance player experience as a whole. In particular, Ethan will have access to a briefcase with an inventory management system similar to Resident Evil 4.

In terms of the combat system, it follows a similar system to that of Biohazard, with a selection of weapons to choose from. From normal handguns to flamethrowers, Resident Evil Village gives you more opportunities to explore certain combat and stealth mechanics against a variety of enemies. Along with this, you will have access to a merchant known in-game as “The Duke” to stock up on supplies and ammunition. Furthermore, they’ve added a key feature in the game to craft first aid supplies or ammo when you run out.

Availability on all platforms, with ray-tracing

As stated earlier, Resident Evil Village will be available on modern and next-gen consoles. Initially, the game was only offered to the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X|S. Now, the developers have put in the work to optimize the game to run even on the older PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Furthermore, if you do end up getting a next-gen console, you will either get a free PS5 upgrade or get free access to the Xbox Series X|S version through Xbox Smart Delivery.

Also, the game will be available on the PC through Steam on the same day as the console release. In addition, AMD mentioned that the PC version of the game will feature ray-tracing capabilities and AMD’s FidelityFX on supported Radeon GPUs. It is also reported that the PlayStation 5 version supports ray-tracing, as well.

Along with the standard game, players will also have access to its six-player online multiplayer game, Resident Evil RE: Verse. This game culminates a 25-year history of all things Resident Evil as you engage in online combat against other players across the server.

Ubisoft confirms Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag remake

It’s officially called Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced.

If you ask an Assassin’s Creed fan what their favorite game of the series is, Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag will likely be one of the top contenders. Because of its reputation, gamers are constantly asking for a remake of the popular pirate simulator. Now, the dream is finally here. Ubisoft has confirmed that a remake, called Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced, is coming.

Released in 2013, Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag saw the journey of Edward Kenway, a vagabond pirate haplessly thrust into life as part of the Assassin Brotherhood against his will. The critically acclaimed game was something that all gamers have been clamoring for since Sid Meier’s Pirates: a true pirate simulator. It was no surprise that the game got as popular as it did.

Today, through an official roadmap shared by the company, Ubisoft has confirmed that Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced is real, and it might launch later this year. The company also released the first concept art for the remake.

Currently, there’s no official word as to how Ubisoft is remaking the game. At the very least, we can expect significant graphical upgrades to put it up to par with the modern games. We wouldn’t be opposed to more stories and missions too.

Now, though the Black Flag remake is already a big deal, the same roadmap also emphasizes that Codename Hexe, the next mainline title, is still coming. Ubisoft hasn’t confirmed the actual timeline yet, but the game will depict “a pivotal moment in history.” With post-launch development for the ongoing Shadows winding down, efforts to launch Codename Hexe should be ramping up soon.

PlayStation will stop releasing its games on PC

A new reports suggests that Sony is going back to console exclusives.

PC-only gamers have been eating well for the past few years. The formerly exclusive PlayStation library opened its gates and released worthy ports for PC. Unfortunately, Sony is putting an end to this short-lived era of openness to PC gamers. According to a new report, the company is once again making first-party PlayStation games exclusive to the console.

During the pandemic, Sony started releasing its critically acclaimed first-party games on PC. The new wave saw gamers get the ability to play titles such as Horizon Zero Dawn, The Last of Us, Marvel’s Spider-Man, and God of War on another platform. Even now, players are still eagerly awaiting the PC launch of Death Stranding 2, due out later this year.

However, as reported by Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, Sony has just had a change of heart and will no longer release any more games on the PC, beyond those already confirmed for future launches.

This will mean that last year’s Ghost of Yotei and the upcoming Saros will remain PlayStation exclusives for the foreseeable future.

It’s a big change to Sony’s direction. However, it’s not without its precedents. For one, Microsoft has started to compete in the non-exclusive market. The company is already set to launch Fable and Forza Horizon 6 on other platforms, including PC and PlayStation, concurrently with the Xbox launch. To compare, PlayStation still waits a long time before launching exclusive games on PC.

Also, now that rumors have begun to speak of a fabled PlayStation 6, Sony might want to keep things close to its chest for now. After all, selling the console might be its top priority for now.

The quirky Legion Go Fold stole the show at MWC 2026

Is this the ultimate travel gadget?

Published

An all-in-one device is a pipe dream for many. Imagine a device that can turn into a tablet, a laptop, a phone, and a console with the flip of a switch. As showcased during MWC 2026, Lenovo wants you to stop imagining. A new concept called the Legion Go Fold is an all-around device you can take with you on travels.

On account of the lineup it’s associated with, the Legion Go Fold is, first and foremost, a handheld gaming console. Normally, it’s a sizable 7.7-inch screen you can attach the Legion Go’s recognizable controllers to.

However, as the “Fold” in its name is hinting, the screen can be unfolded into a much larger screen. At its quirkiest, the concept looks like a vertical tablet with controllers attached to either side. Lenovo says that this is best used in split-screen mode where you can split the display between a game and other media such as a walkthrough video.

Alternatively, you can just rotate the screen horizontally and attach the controllers to play with the maxed out 11.6-inch display.

Finally, the Legion Go Fold can be used as a laptop via the detached screen and an included wireless keyboard. Like the other devices in the Legion Go lineup, the right controller can be used as a makeshift mouse.

Because it’s a concept, the Legion Go Fold isn’t close to being released yet. However, it’s a good evolution of what the Legion Go can already do. As we said in previous reviews, the lineup can technically be a work laptop in a pinch. This just makes it easier.
